The second comment is even more dreary. Throughout this work we use \(Z_2\times Z_2\)  single time slice stochastic sources [1]} in the studies of 2-point correlation functions for mesons, while we use simple point sources for the chimera baryon. However, it is a well known fact among lattice practitioners that extracting the masses of heavy composite states, particularly
in the case of fermionic operators such as the chimera baryon, is complicated by
heavy state contamination and numerical noise [2]}.
And it is a known fact that such shortfallings can be addressed by combining (Wuppertal) smeared
source and sink operators [3]},
by (APE) smearing of the gauge links [4]}
and by adopting
variational methods in treating the eigenvalue problems [5]}, [6]}.
Again, applying these techniques to our current ensembles would bring us unnecessarily beyond the scopes of this paper.
And yet, as anticipated in Ref. [7]}, at the time of editing this manuscript we have developed most
of the necessary processes for
our model, and some of us have been extensively testing them
on a simpler theory: the partially quenched model in which only
the \((as)\)  fermions are included in the MD evolution, while the \((f)\)  fermions are treated as external probes.
We will report on this process elsewhere [8]}, and apply such techniques to
the multi-representation theory of interest in future precision
studies.
